Spruce shrugged. “We can, if you can convince them to give you an interview, but it ain’t as twigged as everyone makes it out to be. Pretty repetitive work, plus you might get fired due to office jealousy.”
(wait were you not there for the exposition dump where Spruce told the sad tale of his betrayal at the hands of bureaucracy)
(oop that’s awkward)
squovernment
wait why not just kill them
it sets a better example this way
oh wait you hand cuff them to take more blood
no this is a great excuse to tell it again
murder is a lot better than torture
i’m not a monster litten
And for me to hear it again!
I wanna hear it again
… you are
I think the fangs that appeared when I mentioned murder would disagree
suddenly I no longer want to give away my blood
blood fees are paid in advance
it’s too late
I’m sorry
if I let you take my blood will you handcuff me
so
probably someone like
saying they will give blood but failing to do it after we took them down a hole
instead of shop transaction
“Eh,” Spruce shrugged. “I can handle people tryin’ to kill me. 'Couple idiots with BB guns used to do that all the time when I was growing up. The real problem is that I lost my dental plan.”
He tried to play it off as if it were nothing, but Spruce wasn’t sure the others bought it. He really didn’t care about the loss of the job - he found another pretty quickly - but it was the petty jealousy and being wrongfully incriminated that really raised his fur.
why do you need to be handcuffed
I didn’t consent to being pulled into a hole, thank you very much
you poor innocent soul
